The world`s first case of nesting of honeybees, wasps and a squirrel inside a partially skeletonized and mummified human corpse found high in a tree has been described by a team of scientists from Wrocław.

Thorough analysis of medical and forensic entomology literature confirmed the uniqueness of the discovery. Researchers described it in the July edition of the prestigious journal "Forensic Science International".

"The uniqueness of our discovery lies in the fact that no one before us had the opportunity to describe a case of nesting of these species of animals inside a human corpse found in a tree" - says member of the team that investigates such phenomena, Dr. Marcin Kadej from the Institute of Environmental Biology, University of Wrocław.

Incredible it was in the tree that long without decomposing enough to fall. Surprised by the squirrel. Not so much the other two.
